Questions related to Musa
Hello ResearchGate Community,
I am searching for a water-soluble dye that can withstand a prolonged period (one month) at 85°C and 5000 psi. It's crucial that the dye remains stable and retains its color across both acidic and basic pH environments. The dye's ability to maintain consistent color under these extreme conditions is essential for my research.
I would appreciate any recommendations for dyes known for their stability and color consistency in such settings.
Thank you in advance for your insights!
Best,
Musa
Hi everyone,
I wonder please if anyone can suggest a way to convert an ORCA output file into a file that can be viewed by GaussView 6. I tried but failed showing the following masg: SCUtil_ConnectintionGlog::
Best regards with many thanks

Glyphosate is a systemic, broad spectrum herbicide. Plantain or banana false stem has a wax surface that’s different from the leaves and protects the plant when emerging from the ground and other organisms. If anyone has results or literature that explains whether this herbicide affects plantain or bananas, I would greatly appreciate it.
Hi everyone, any suggestion for free software for overlaying a DFT structure to an X-ray structure, please?
Thank you

I am working on how land use effects soil and also on how the different land use affects agronomic performance of musa. Can the esteemed members please recommend some good subscription/free journals/hybrid?
I am confused as to name the cultiavrs/landrace Musa sp as either
1. Musa x paradisiaca
2. Musa sapentium
May I kindly have some inputs on this. Regards
I am currently studying on a Musa sp, but I am uncertain if it is either a land race or a cultivar. As far as I know, the Musa sp has been historically found in the current region that I am working on. How do I classify it as such?
Regards.
Musa acuminata ssp. banksii is a subspecies of Musa acuminata, the wild species involved in the domestication of the vast majority of cultivated bananas. It is one of the four main subspecies of Musa acuminata that contributed to the genetics of edible bananas. Molecular analyses of genebank accessions have alleles specific to banksii in nearly all edible diploids. Several banksii alleles have also been found in important triploids subgroups such as plantain and Cavendish. One of the differences with the other subspecies of Musa acuminata is the larger number of seeds banksii can produce (non parthenocarpic).
I have data on the length and breadth of the leaves of the banana and number of leaves, and wanted to know which method is best suited for estimation of TLA.
I am currently extracting crude lipids in musa(banana) via soxhlet extraction using petroleum ether. I wanted to know if anyone had better yield via the acid hydrolysis method.
Hello.
We optimized a protocol and media composition for tissue culture of Abaca (Musa textilis Nee) using the varieties we have on the facility. However, upon using different varieties from the collection obtained all over the country, the explant seems to be unresponsive. No shoots formed and severe browning (may be caused by phenolic compounds) could be observed.
Because I did sequencing but the results did not match what I observe based on the fungus
And with morphological identification I could only see hyphae structured stained with lactophenol cotton blue
This fungus is an endophytic fungus was isolated from Banana Leaves Musa sp.




Bhimkal or Athiyakol is the common name (Assamese) of a banana species in Assam , India. This is Musa Balbisinana Colla is a robust plant under the family Musaceae. Like other banana species it is used for many purposes including production of nutritious baby food, pseudo-stem as feed to cattle, pig etc and many other purposes. The tender suckers generally below the height of 0.6 m is a preferred vegetable by many people, the bloosom or heart of this species is another preferred food over other species.
In banana cultivation more importance is given on increasing the size and production of fruits and desuckering is normally recommended for the same.
In contrast to the above, suckers too have a good market, production of fibre too have a good potential due to the robust size of the plant which may even be more economically profitable. What are the ways to increase the production of suckers and fibre in Banana. Is there any research done in this sector ?
I have taken 6 candidate genes from Musa sp. and need to identify their protein interaction partners in vitro...Literature derived details of interacting partners, binding domain and active domain for other crops such as arabidopsis thaliana, solanum, oryza i have taken and has to validate in musa species.
Kindly let me know which techniques is appropriate to do preliminary analysis of PPI before carry out in in vivo (Y2H)..is there any workshop or trainings provided in PPI also kindly let me know..
Thank you
I visited last month to Kausambi district. I observed Banana crops drying. I asked farmers to know the reason of drying of banana. Farmers replied that this was because of high temperature. The question is that banana plant gets start drying, if temperature goes up to 43 C. What physiological changes takes place in banana plant if temperature goes up.....?
Please find the photographs of symptoms in banana tissue culture plants.



It is well established fact that, one of the progenitor species of banana, Musa acuminata has a number of subspecies. This attributes to the diversity in the banana germplasms comprising of the A genome.
Whether anyone have information on the ecotypes/ subspecies of the Musa balbisiana that contributes to the B genome?
Aspidiotus spp. prefers coconut but also infests other plants such as banana and mango. What is common between these plants that cocolisap prefer them over other plants?
The 70 or so species of wild bananas in the genus Musa have small, banana-shaped fruits of various colors, full of hard black seeds. Although small compared with cultivated bananas, the ones I have seen have been 5-10 cm long, with a thick peel. In Xishuangbanna, SW China, the seeds are dispersed largely by 50-gram fruit bats, which carry them off to a feeding roost < 200 m away for processing and only swallow the pulp (Meng et al. 2012 Integrative Zoology 2012; 7: 30–40). Birds also peck out bits from ripe fruits. The Australian species are reportedly eaten by feral pigs. Does anyone know what disperses other species?
Dear fellow researchers, I have been working on developing SCMA (Sparse Code Multiple Access). But there are other potential MA technologies are being developed (eg: PDMA, MUSA). In your opinion, what is the most promising Multiple Access candidate among these and why. Thanks in advance!
Hello everyone,
Can you please help me understand how I can measure L2 learners' resistance to corrective feedback on their pronunciation errors? My assumption is that a lot of factors come in, factors such as their cultural identity, their L2 learning background, their communicative needs,... However, I do not know how to measure this resistance. Does anyone know of an instrument (e.g. a questionnaire) to measure this variable?
Thank you in advance for sharing your ideas with me.

We have been working on Banana streak virus. The PCR product which was sent for sequencing, after clonning, gives two different sequences from two different colonies. Similiarly, It was also observed that Musa cv. Pisang Klutuk Wulung (PKW) and OL complete genome has more than one regions with more than 90-95 query coverage? How can we explain such results?
I'm studying about the antioxidant capacity of banana (Musa spp.). I use TEAC assay for determination of antioxidant capacity but i'm confused about the procedure. Does anyone can help me? Sorry about my bad English.
Thank you.
